Answer: Criminalisation of politics means the entry and growing influence of persons with a criminal background in politics.

Political parties give tickets to such persons because they can win elections using money and muscle power. Criminals then use violence, threats and corruption, which weakens free and fair elections and the rule of law. To check this, the courts and the Election Commission require candidates to declare their criminal record, assets and educational qualifications in an affidavit.
